guitar blog

Hi! My name is Lucas and well, I love to play guitar! I have been playing off and on for around 30 years now. In that time, I have learned a great deal about the instrument, the gear, music theory and more. I currently play professionally in a cover band called The Barrelhouse Poets. I started the blog as a way to share my knowledge and passion about this wonderful instrument.

I also have a YouTube Channel called Blues You Can Use. There I do video reviews of gear as well as tutorials and much more. Click HERE and don't forget to subscribe to my channel.

The Port Rock Bar is at 18 Dunlop St. W just west of Bayfield St. in downtown Barrie.

The Port features a great stage, fully licensed smoking patio. They book live alternative acts and art shows. They will also be featuring local artists around the club on a monthly basis and a Bizarre Crafters market.

This is a new and modern 300 + seat theatre. We are excited to take the stage at 8 PM. Tickets are $15 for Students and $20 for adults. This event is open to the general public and all ages are welcome.

You can purchase your tickets online here or in person at the box office located at 100 Clearbrook Trail. The box office is open for ticket pick up from 10 - 4 Monday to Friday and 1 hour before the show.

We hope to see you there!

SATURDAY JULY 6 and SATURDAY AUG 10

Both dates are at McNally's Irish Pub located at 945 Innisfil Beach Rd Innisfil Ontario.

Call 705 294 5155 for details.

McNally's is always a fun night so grab some freinds and come down for some pub grub and a great night of music!

I remember being listening to Joe when I was younger and being absolutely blown away. Surfing with the Alien was one of the coolest things I'd ever heard. I had a similar feeling when I first heard Matt play. It was different. Note choices and phrasing that made you want to keep listening.

I wish I could catch a show with these two!

Fortunately I did get tickets to see Matt at Peter's Players in July. I'M STOKED!
